It depends on what you're trying to do. There are various ISP's in the
UK that run IP/MPLS networks with metrics suitable for carrying voice
traffic. They can run QoS services in and out of their networks to
customers utilising leased lines/LES/or SOME forms of DSL.

Of course going to another providers network (in the UK) generally goes
through LINX and that's a congested exchange with no guarantees.

Some networks do have private interconnects and either run QoS across
the interconnect or just have enough bandwidth so contention across the
interconnect never occurs.
